| Catholic theologians accuse pope of spreading heresy |
| 2017-09-25 |
| [Chicago Tribune] Several dozen tradition-minded Roman Catholic theologians, priests and academics have formally accused Pope Francis of spreading heresy with his 2016 opening to divorced and civilly remarried Catholics. In a 25-page letter delivered to Francis last month and provided Saturday to The News Agency that Dare Not be Named, the 62 signatories issued a "filial correction" to the pope ‐ a measure they said hadn't been employed since the 14th century. The letter accused Francis of propagating seven heretical positions concerning marriage, moral life and the sacraments with his 2016 document "The Joy of Love" and subsequent "acts, words and omissions." The initiative follows another formal act by four tradition-minded cardinals who wrote Francis last year asking him to clarify a series of questions, or "dubbia," they had about his 2016 text. Francis hasn't responded to either initiative. The Vatican front man didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment late Saturday. None of the signatories of the new letter is a cardinal, and the highest-ranking churchman listed is actually someone whose organization has no legal standing in the Catholic Church: Bishop Bernard Fellay, superior of the breakaway Society of St. Pius X. Several other signatories are well-known admirers of the old Latin Mass which Fellay's followers celebrate. But organizers said the initiative was nevertheless significant and a sign of the concern among a certain contingent of academics and pastors over Francis' positions, which they said posed a danger to the faithful. |

| #4 "Liberation Theology" (as if there is another kind) is a KGB disinformation operation. A very well done one. |

| #3 P2k, I don't know it sort of sounds like that good old "Liberation Theology" from Central & South America by way of Castro and friends. |

| #1 Last time I checked, Thou Shall Covet, Thou Shall Bear False Witness, Thou Shall Steal seem to be the base tenets of Socialism, not Christianity. |
